Skynet put a modified version of lua 5.2.3 in 3rd/lua , it can share proto type between lua state (http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2014-03/msg00489.html) .
Each lua file only load once and cache it in memory during skynet start . so if you want to reflush the cache , call skynet.cache.clear() .
You can also use the offical lua version , edit the makefile by yourself .
